If you’re anything like me, you pride yourself on keeping current with the goings-on of the Kazakhstan volleyball team. So if this has already crossed your desk during your daily rundown of all things Kazakhstan volleyball, I apologize for wasting your time. However, if you hadn’t come across this story, let’s get you up to speed ASAP. […]

Kudos to Tom Tom. Do you remember Tom Tom? They, along with Garmin, were the GPS guys that taught us how to get places before we had iPhones. But Tom Tom will not go gently into the night. Along with FitBit and all those other workout hogwash devices, Tom Tom has staked a claim in […]

I’m going to be honest. I’d never heard of American Ninja Warrior before last week, when a very attractive five-foot, 100-pound gymnast named Kacy Catanzaro became the first woman ever to complete the show’s elaborate and extremely challenging obstacle course. But now I’m kind of addicted to it. I figured out where the hell the […]

ATTENTION FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS THAT AREN’T AWARE THAT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PORNOGRAPHY: Playboy, the internet porn of an earlier generation, is still marketing its models the old-fashioned way, and those models are still putting together really contrived workout videos like it’s 1987. Bianca Beauchamp (no way in hell that’s her real name) is […]

The Tour de France is the most excruciating, grueling, and painful sporting event on earth. For that reason, most of the cyclists probably don’t even notice hecklers. The only things they can hear are the tiny voices in their heads yelling, “PLEASE STOP!” However, I imagine that the few cyclists who do notice the hecklers […]

Okay everybody, this is weird. Last year, on Monday, July 22, WWE Diva Brie Bella had what the kids these days call a “wardrobe function.” That means her bare lady nipple somehow found its way out of her skimpy top during Monday Night Raw and exposed itself for all the world to see. It was […]

When Drake was announced as the host for the 2014 ESPY Awards, I said at the time that I was slightly disappointed. It was not that I doubted his MC skills. It was that, given his close personal ties in the sports world, you knew the jokes were going to be relatively tame. So was […]

The ESPY Awards were only invented to give ESPN something to do on the deadest day on the sports calendar—the Wednesday after the MLB All-Star game—when there’s no baseball, no football, no basketball, no hockey, and the only thing going on in the world of sports is the Tour de France. However, something amazing happened […]

It’s easy to gloss over the world of cycling. There’s only one notable event, which takes place thousands of miles away in July, all the former icons are dopers, and it’s a little boring to watch. The first two issues are still a problem, but the new cameras being mounted on bikes are turning the […]

Reporting on a show like American Ninja Warrior would normally be a pretty liberal interpretation of “sports news,” but let’s give credit where credit is due. And credit is due to this girl, Kacy Catanzaro, a competitor on the course who is a former gymnast. She absolutely KILLS IT. In a way that you won’t […]

That giant orange fish with the horrifying fangs? Oh, that’s just a an 84.9-pound cubera snapper. It was caught in the Gulf of Mexico, 40 miles off the coast of Alabama by fisherman Brett Rutledge. And yes, when all the results are in, it will break the state record. Shatter it, actually. By 32 pounds. […]

There have been way too many hilarious “This Is SportsCenter” commercials over the years to be able to say, without a doubt, that the one you are about to watch is “one of the best.” So instead, let me just say this: it’s really good, and probably in the top 60th percentile. What makes it […]

Last Friday, an ultramarathon runner was struck by lightning during the Hardrock 100 trail running race in Silverton, Colorado. But did he die? No, he didn’t die. He took third place. On the one hand, the idea that a runner would get struck by lightning and continue running is absolutely insane. On the other hand, […]

If you’re a sneakerhead, then you know how hard it can be to get reliable info on sneaker release dates and availability, especially for the rare, limited releases. Fortunately for you, Sole Collector has your back. The online sneaker culture site just introduced a new feature called “Release Watch” that might just revolutionize your sneaker […]

Ever since they invented the internet, you can pretty much look at pictures of naked people whenever you want. However, if you’re a discriminating pervert who only wants to look at naked pictures of elite physical specimens, for that you have to wait until ESPN the Magazine releases it’s annual Body Issue. Fortunately, your wait […]
